There were differences of opinion on whether Yorick was clichéd nerdbait, an affectionate sketch of a manchild, or that his purpose was to encourage the reader to pay attention to the more interesting and sympathetic supporting cast.
The counting down to the plague was well structured and exciting - great pace.
Readers who'd read beyond the first volume were surprised on rereading at how little plot within these issues. They also expressed enthusiasm for how complex the plot was, that it developed, and that there were no throwaway filler chapters.
The story had a before and after - it wasn't in a bubble. (Later volumes expand on this).
Good humour throughout.
Some felt that it was a comicbook about what men thought women would get up to without them. And that the premise was braver than the execution.
Is the fall too quick? Is it condescending to say that women would revert so quickly to savagery and infighting?
Some felt that supermodels as waste collectors was a little too on the nose.
